This scene is from the Telluride Winter Sports Area in the southwest corner of the state Miles to go before I sleep If it hadn't been for the Puritan work ethic, we'd probably still be confined as a nation to the East Coast. And we'd probably still be an agricultural nation. But the idea that you glorified God by work made us a mighty industrial power and gave rise to the concept of manifest destiny. The work ethic has diminished somewhat in recent years, but many of us still hold that work comes before play. And if we tend to waver in that belief, our parents remind us: ‘'You can't go until you've finished your homework and taken out the trash.'' We are convinced that today's work will bring dividends tomorrow. And if our reward doesn't come from heaven, it will surely come from college or the conference, the state or the com- pany we eventually work for. 6—STUDENT LIFE

COLLEGE BOUND students found they’d have to study harder to make it. and Presi- dent Ford discovered getting the GOP nomination would be no cinch. Even Prin- cipal Larry Ashley learned it was hard work bringing discipline back to the high school. YOU HAD TO HAVE FAITH that hard work now would bring future rewards, whether you were a gymnast working with the team to recapture the State championship or a sophomore struggling with the Pythagorean theorem or an editor learning about printing STUDENT LIFE—7
